The Presbyterian Church of Aleppo, Syria, pastored by the Rev Ibrahim Nseir, was organized in 1853. During its history, this little flock witnessed to Christ through its schools and diaconal ministries. In 2012, the sanctuary of the church was destroyed by radical Islamist groups in two consecutive explosions.
After Aleppo was liberated and relative peace returned, a new sanctuary was constructed in another part of the city. But the church’s original site is in the historic center of the Old City and the National Evangelical Synod of Syria and Lebanon resolved to revive its presence and ministry on the destroyed land with a new vision: the Aleppo Christian Center.
